Józef Robakowski
Multiple Portrait, 1998, 2:00:00 min (loop)


The video you are looking for is no longer available.

Multiple Portrait documents Robakowski looking at a reflection of himself looking at a reflection, of himself, doing very little. The most interesting thing the artist does is drink a glass of water or squint. The interesting thing about this video is the fact that it relates to the earlier video made by Witkacy in 1916, therefore, reflected in the mirror is not only Robakowski, but Witkacy aswell. Multiple personalities have united over the past decades due to the boredom and suffering for the great seriousness of art.
